Style offers concrete rules you can follow. You can use it as a resource rather than a barrier to feeling good about yourself.
Stacy London
Image
Fit is everything. I don't care what your body type is like: If you're not wearing clothes that fit you, you can't have style.
Stacy London
Image
The key to personal style is understanding your individual beauty enough to know which looks will work for you and which probably won't.
Stacy London
Image
I know what it feels like to struggle with your weight, and it makes me understand why women get attached to numbers on a scale or a dress size. It doesn't mean that I have gotten over all of it myself, because I have good days and bad days just like everyone else.

Your personal style should evolve with age. To say you want the same style at 25 as at 45 is a mistake.
Stacy London
Image
Texture is something we forget - it makes outfits look very expensive. You can do a monochromatic outfit, if you're afraid of things that are more colorful and printed, and still create interest.
Stacy London
Image
I don't argue style on the basis of tastes. If you feel like you've reached your personal best, don't change.
Stacy London
Image
The fact is, there is only one body ideal in fashion, and most likely, you don't have it.
Stacy London
Image
Not one person I know isn't concerned with their appearance. To trivialize fashion is to rob ourselves of a great tool.
Stacy London
Image
All metallics are neutrals. So it is absolutely fine to mix gold and silver you just want it to look like it has purpose.
Stacy London
Image
You should feel beautiful and you should feel safe. What you surround yourself with should bring you peace of mind and peace of spirit.
Stacy London
Image
I believe every PERSON is beautiful. What you do with that beauty, how you develop it, is up to you.
Stacy London
Image
You have to look in the mirror and see that what you're wearing looks good on the body you have now. Wearing a larger size is just wearing a larger size.
Stacy London
Image
Style is the instrument you can pick back up when you want to regain some of the confidence you've lost.
Stacy London
Image
Fashion is an industry to make money. It plays into human psychology. We want to belong, we want to be loved. I'm not trying to demonize the fashion industry - I love the fashion industry - but style is about taking the control out of the industry's hand and having you decide what works for you.

I'm not one of those people who wakes up and thinks, 'Bring on the day!' I have to have about 7 pints of coffee before I'm even remotely awake. But I love the golden hour in the evening, as hokey as that sounds. Just as the sun is about to set and you get those lovely shadows and everything looks gold and yellow.

You don't need money to look fabulous. There are so many awesome new designers, so many designers doing collections for mass retailers.
Stacy London
Image
If you deny the reality of your body or your life, you'll never be able to dress any of it well - even the parts you love. You have to see it all to work with any of it.

I'm not as snarky as I used to be.

Don't let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don't like them.
